cannot map a network drive in windows 7

Cannot map network drive
location: 7forums.com - date: April 9, 2010
I'm trying to map a network drive from a VPN client (Windows XP Home) to a VPN Server (Windows 7 Home).
The folder I'm trying to map is definitely shared in the Windows 7 Server machine.
I'm using the "standard" process as described here: Map Network Drive - How to Map a Network Drive in Windows XP Using Windows Explorer
I cannot see the folder on the XP client and when I type in the UNC given by the Windows 7 server I get the dreaded "the network path could not be found" message.
Incidentally, I can ping and telnet into port 1723 from the client to the server with no issues. Also, on the Windows 7 server I've made sure the network is in "WorkGroup" as I've read that XP machines require this in order tvideo help | post reply | read more

Trouble Mapping Network Drive Windows 7
location: 7forums.com - date: April 13, 2012
Hello -
Okay. Here is the scoop. I work in a small office where we have 1 desktop running Windows 7 64 bit connected by a LAN line to the wireless router, which is our "network drive". We have 1 laptop running 64 bit Vista, 1 laptop running 64 bit Windows 7, and 1 laptop running 32 bit Windows 7.
6 months ago, I loaded all of our shared files to the "public documents" folder on the 64bit Desktop, and was able to get all the laptops to access these folders, as well as to map this folder as our "network drive".
However, something happened about 2 weeks ago when we did some windows updates on our Desktop, and now none of us can re-connect / sync with the network drive. the message we get is:

Can't map network drive to Windows 7 Client PCs via GPO from Win 2003 Server
location: microsoft.com - date: June 8, 2010
Hi,
I was able to join a Win 7 Pro PC to our domain with no problems. But every time a user (or I) log into the domain using this machine, the login script, which maps network drives, doesn't run. But another script is able to run and install perfectly (this
other script adds a security group to the local admin group). The scripts are .vbs type scripts I implemented using the Group Policy Mgmt Console on our Win 2003 server. The funny thing is that once I'm logged in, I'm able to locate, run and execute the same
script and it actually maps the network drives just fine. So it does run but I have to do it manually. It doesn't run during login process. Now, this scripts does run perfectly on a Windows XP machine. The issue seems to be witvideo help | post reply | read more

XP Network - new Windows 7 laptop cannot see printers or XP computers
location: microsoft.com - date: December 14, 2009
I Know this is a late response, but I wrestled with the same issue and figured out the problem:
Eventhough you set the permission to everyone to view a folder from your windows 7 computer, doesn't mean windows 7 has acutally created the proper permissions for you. Here's what you have to do:
In Windows 7:
1) Right click the folder you want to share and click on properties.
2) Click on the "Sharing" tab
3) Click on the button "Share..."
4) Add "Everyone"
5) Press Share and Close
6) In the same "Sharing" tab, click on the button "Advanced Sharing..."
7) Click on "Permsions"
8) Click "Add"
9) Click "Advanced"
10) Click "Find Now"
11) Scroll through the list and find "everyone"
12) Click on through pressing OK.

Hi,
got a problem with my Windows laptop that has me stumped.
I would be really grateful if someone could provide a solution or ideas where to start solving this, as I am getting close to going back to previous full system backup, but reluctant to do that as I have never done it before and am worried if it will really
work as supposed (Macrium and Ping).

However, all administrator accounts work as before and also the user accounts work as usual if they are included to the Administrators group, with respect to the clicking of the video help | post reply | read more
